hi there, i have just bought a new pc , and im like so excited ! :) 

a quad core, its what i wanted the most, mostly to play a demanding game...

and it feels so nice , and its so like silent too ! ^^

so yeah , i was wondering. cuz the new computer comes with Windows 8, which is supah cool, but it aint activated.... and budget-side, i have no money to buy it...

so , i have another hard drive from another pc. the hard drive has Windows vista.

i have switched the hard drive, booted, and it dont want to boot...

so , it seems that Windows is installed on the motherbvoard itself or what ?!?! o.O ??

anyways, i also have Windows xp cd with a key...

so i put Windows xp cd on the drive...then the option to install it is blank - i cant click it ....

so it seems that the new computer denies installation of a OS...

so can someone help me downgrading the new pc to either vista or XP.....

i know xp is old and i fear it ont work with my new game...

thanks !
